── Recommandations ──

1Content creators: Suno is the fastest path to original background music for videos/podcasts. $10/mo replaces $500+ per commissioned track
2Developers: The Suno API is underexplored — build integrations for video editors, game engines, and social media tools
3Investors: $300M ARR at 50% quarterly growth. Legal risk from major label lawsuits is the main overhang, but user adoption is undeniable
4Educators: Universities are already integrating AI music tools. Course content and certification programs are a wide-open market
